Clarke Schmidt shines, Yanks blank Cubs 2-0
by Chris Schommer | Yankees Correspondent | Sun, Sep 8th 7:02am EDT
Clarke Schmidt turned in a solid performance, tossing 4 2/3 scoreless innings while allowing just four hits and one walk, striking out two in Saturday's 2-0 victory over the Cubs.
Fantasy Impact:
While he didn't factor into the decision, Schmidt's outing continues to bolster his already impressive season stats, maintaining a strong 2.34 ERA and 1.13 WHIP. His ability to limit runs and keep baserunners to a minimum adds value in leagues counting ERA and WHIP, though his early exit in this game might frustrate those in need of wins or deeper innings. Nonetheless, Schmidt's consistent performance, highlighted by a 9.5 K/9 rate and a solid 3.29 strikeout-to-walk ratio, should keep him as a reliable option in most fantasy formats.
